NBC Olympics Tape Delay - Spoiler alert, 100 m winner disclosed

[Zed Head]

Anybody watching the Olympics?  Didn't realize how far NBC was manipulating things until I got on the old interweb and saw that Usain Bolt had won the 100 meters (sorry if you live on the West Coast and were going to watch it).  Even though it's not on NBC west coast until 9:25 tonight.  

Sunday afternoon, perfect sports TV time and NBC thinks nobody is on the internet, or gets the same out of a taped performance as a live event.  Dinosaurs.

I saw it on the west coast. Thank god I didn't see your post until afterward. But I wasn't too surprised of the outcome anyway.

I found a whole bunch of stuff on the internet devoted to bashing NBC for this, after I posted.  It really is the old old TV model.  Bob Costas looked like a tiny old man sitting next to some of those young blond swimmers, interviewing them.  They couldn't even get a camera angle right.

****ing NBC $^!#-head mother****ing douchebags.  I wanted to watch the womens 400 m and I accidentally opened a site that reported the winner already.  Those money-grubbing bastards should have their dicks cut off if they haven't shriveled up to nothing already.

So much for the seven words...

Those women were robbed and raped by the time we got to see them run.
